Forest Park Forever: East Waterways Public Celebration

Wednesday, August 6, 20255:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Event Details

Forest Park Forever leads the fundraising and manages projects called for in the Forest Park Master Plan. The East Waterways Project, completes a decades-long vision to create an interconnected waterway across Forest Park. The 2.5-mile Taylor Kindle River, established as part of The River Returns project, first brought this vision to life in the late 1990s. This final phase was funded by donors to Forest Park Forever’s Forever campaign and restores the water system as envisioned in the Forest Park Master Plan.
